Tonight's top show: Raekwon at the Shrine

Raekwon: In the talent-rich Wu-Tang Clan, Raekwon stands with Ghostface Killah and Genius/GZA as the MC with the most consistently inventive attack and wordplay. His solo albums, particularly “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” (1995) and its 2009 sequel remain two of the best recordings from the Staten Island, N.Y., crew, 10 p.m. Friday at the Shrine, 2109 S. Wabash, $25 and $45; theshrinechicago.com.
